You can already do that with Movies Anywhere

Even if this isn’t the best Smash-like, I feel like it’s going to be good enough to keep a pretty active player base. If they announce the Action League Now! team or Angry Beavers on the roster, I’ll preorder the dang game right now (and I hate preordering).

Same. I’m not exactly excited for, say, The Loud House characters, but Avatar and Invader Zim, and REPTAR?! Yeah, that’s neat-o

I love how this game seems to be pulling from almost all eras of Nick. Being born in 82, Nick was pretty much all I watched in the late 80s, early 90s, so this hold a special place in my heart. I’m sure others can say the same regardless of era.

That being said, they’re insane if they don’t have the set of Double Dare…

Oh, how could I forget? And Fat Cop, the Loud Librarian, the Big Ear of Corn, Penelope Taynt, Pierre Escargot, Baggin’ Saggin Barry, the dancing lobsters.

No, they just let Netflix run Static Cling whereas Disney bought Jumbo Pictures and Doug came with and Nickelodeon didn’t get a say. Netflix also has Enter the Florpus and here Zim is.

You come in here name-dropping and don’t even consider Detective Dan!? HE’S DETECTIVE DAN!

See, Sony. This is how you do it. You don’t try and come up with a new game formula. You take what already is established to work and then you add characters people love.
Playstation All-Star Battle Royale was such a massive letdown. They have such a massive character roster and then they focused on bringing us boring…

The Twitters are alight with great ideas. Have Miis/Avatars compete in Legends of the Hidden Temple or Guts or Double Dare attire. Have the Aggro Crag be a stage. It seems like they’re sticking just with Nicktoons stuff and they don’t want anybody kicking Tommy’s teeth in but there’s such a rich library of fighters in…

One stage has to be the green room from All That and have Kevin burst in periodically and shout “FIVE MINUTES! FIVE MINUTES EVERYONE!” and then get unceremoniously slammed by the giant ear of corn. If that happens I’m buying that game even for platforms I don’t own!

We MIGHT get Jojo Siwa since she’s being pushed by Nick currently and is the big hot star and they have a model from the other recent Nick games, but I doubt anyone else will show up.

Oh, and what about Catdog or Nigel Thornberry, the only non-villainous role Tim Curry's ever done?

Yes, I couldn’t support this more. Donkeylips from Salute You Shorts. Artie, The Strongest Man in the World from Pete and Pete, Mo from GUTS, Omar Gooding from Wild and Crazy Kids, the list goes on and on. Give me my nostalgia bomb. I can afford to buy my own games now!

I am still kind of shocked at Powdered Toast Man making an appearance in a Nick game in 2021.

While this appears to be aimed primarily at Millennials, I appreciate Ludosity tossing Gen Xers a bone in the form of Ren & Stimpy and, most notably, the ‘87 Turtles - despite that incarnation not originally airing on Nickelodeon.

Everything I’ve ever read about Japanese companies has left me with the impression that they’re really, really resistant to adapting to the way the outside world is rapidly changing. They’re very much in the “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” mindset. Like, they’re still selling new Walkmans and cassette tapes, faxing…

I mean...i’m not surprised? It only took a worldwide pandemic to get Japanese fighting game devs to implement a better form of online that has existed for 15 years.

This disagreement is mainly rooted in ignorance of what a PC release really means. Preventing it protects them from next to nothing and I’m surprised no-one has been able to educate them on this in a convincing way. Actually it sounds more like wilful ignorance.

So it sounds like he should, you know, be a producer, exactly like the article suggests.

No mention of his version of I Am Legend that missed the point entirely, or his version of I, Robot that featured none of the premises, themes, characters, stories, or general principals from I, Robot?
